Failed to install CocoaPods

Hello,

I’m trying to build for iOS on Mac using Unity 2019.4 after trying many things from other online sources and failing miserably I come to you! Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks…

Failed to install CocoaPods for the current user.

It will not be possible to install Cocoapods in the generated Xcode project which will result in link errors when building your application.

For more information see:
CocoaPods Guides - Getting Started

‘gem install cocoapods --user-install’ failed with code (1):

I have installed the XCode command line tools, also used brew to install ruby 3 and switch to it… running the gem install cocoapods in the CLI works… but for some reason when unity tries it - it is using the 2.6 ruby that came installed with the Mac and it doesn’t work. Any ideas?
